12 Angry Men

I keep on searching and downloading movies which suit my fancy - mostly horror, comedy, action, thrillers. Lots of times when i had been to the top 250 list on imdb, i had seen this movie at the top. Also when i had searched for top movies, this was on the list.

But when i read about the plot and the synopsis of the movie - it told me that there are 12 men in a room discussing talking to each other about some murder trial - it seemed quite boring. And on top of it - the complete movie is in black & white (not even eastman color).

But some days ago a friend of mine highly recommended this movie to me. So, i thought what the heck, we should watch old B/W movies as well - they are good - even if it is about 12 men sitting in a room and talking to each other - no action whatever...

So, with a "lets get it over with" attitude, i sat down to watch the movie. And it turned out to be very good. 12 men inside a room can make wonders happen. The concept is very simple, but the way it is portrayed is just wow!!!.
